Can anyone tell me how to access Scottish Records as I only seem to find English and Welsh.

despite what is implied in the advertising,



GR does not have Scottish records


Scotlands People is by far the best site



ancestry also has Scottish censuses 1841 - 1901, transcriptions only

Researching:

Not answering your Q - but you will find it handy to know where Scottish civil parishes are.
There's an 1890s map showing the parishes in any Scottish county at:
